Japanese University Students SHOCKED by Singapore Street Food

[@恵麗奈松永]

貴重な体験をさせて頂き有難うございました！ドリアンの魅力にもっと沢山の方が気付きますように❤ Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing experience! I miss durians hahaha

Are you the lady who likes it immediately? Durian splits humans into 2 types. Those who love it and those who hate it. You're definitely the first! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Hope you like it here.

They are so adorable and authentic. Appreciate their reactions more than if they had tried to be polite or kind about it.

if they tried to be polite then it wouldnt be authentic anymore

[@sktokyo9457]

What a fun video 😂 loved their reaction trying all the local foods. Just shows how diverse Singaporean foods can be and different from Japan!

[@davidhoo9093]

It was so fun watching you guiding the japanese students eat local food ..especially the durian session...haha

[@lenett9541]

Chempedak is quite similar to jackfruit rather than durian. As for drinking from the shell, actually we add salt to the water and drink from the center edge away from the sharp thorns. I was told that durian is heaty so you drink salt water to neutralise the heat, something like that.

[@simplyme3306]

yes add salt to remove heatiness

[@wendaleong1103]

I rub my fingers against the white of the skin to get rid of the smell and it really works. Then rinse it off. I don’t usually use gloves eating when durians at home. 😋

[@exs1803]

Yes salt water is good. The other antidote is actually another fruit, mangosteen (purple in color) Both of the fruits are available in the same season. Delicious too.

[@glennchua9043]

Exactly.

[@tekmt2]

How do these students have Singaporean accents?! And talk in Singlish?! Love it!

[@Yasuhiro-]

13:55 Sorry but I laughed out loud when the ice cold water spilled onto your pants HAHAHA

[@IZTheOne]

This was a really fun video. Glad they managed to try Durian haha!

[@simbeekuan4056]

It's so funny...Your interaction with your Japanese friends are all so natural and can see that they are enjoying themselves too

[@willie8452]

What a fun bunch! These students are all so genki 😄😂 💪 Pls show them more around SG! 👏👏

[@leewn2319]

Rojak’s sauce is made with prawn paste, asam pulp dissolve in water, sugar, chili paste top with roasted peanut chips. The ingredients are pineapple, cucumber, turnips, cooked bean sprouts, youtiao, & taupok (deep fried bean curd). For moe aromatic taste, sometimes torch ginger bud slices are added. Some vendors also add apple or Jambu slices on request and u pay a little more.

[@feng125]

The lady's pronounciation of YouTiao is spot on. Definitely sounds like an experienced Chinese speaker.

[@FalconWindblader]

I won't be surprised if she actually speaks Chinese

[@chrisl9934]

She looks mixed and she has an English name so maybe you're right.

[@edteo17]

Ghib san and co just a joy to watch... im also amazed at their Singlish accents, really sugoii and omoshiroii!

[@obiwan88]

Have to admit Erina doesn't appear to look like my usual impression of a Japanese face? Perhaps she is from Okinawa region? Thank you very much for your genuine and honest reactions, we appreciate that the most! 皆さん, stay safe and healthy!

[@RiceSnow777]

This is soooo fun to watch! I want more!

[@Ayl3103]

I add salt and water and drink from the husk. It does remove the durian smell from my mouth (fingers too, if I wash in saltwater rubbed mildly in the husk) and heat. Not a myth for me :) But I personally prefer bitter durians rather than the sweet ones. Btw, I like the Japanese students' active vibes, it's nice to see that they're able to voice out what they really think.

[@spinvalve]

The day that I cross paths with Ghib somewhere in Singapore, I swear imma gonna shout loud loud "Jipun lang Lai Liao!"

[@GlowofLife]

Well done Erina! Can see you will be going back for more durians!

[@johnsonteng982]

Hi Ojisan, I am a 56years old Singaporean. My name is Johnson, your subscriber and viewer. I like to share some interesting info on the proper way of eating Durian.. I used to eat durians with bare hands.. As durian is regarded as a ‘heaty’ fruit, we locals normally eat mangosteen (cooling fruit) to neutralize the ‘heatiness’.. Another way is to drink water with a pinch of salt on the husk to also cool down our body and not to take away the smell as your wife suggested. Now the best part is this, since I’m eating with bare hands, the smell on my hand will be strong.. So I was taught when I was young to wash my hands with running tap water over the reverse side of the husk (spiky portion) onto our hands.. You will be amazed the smell immediately disappear… Hope it’s an interesting info for you.. Cheers!

[@wendaleong1103]

Really enjoyed this video. Japan has a special place in my heart. Spent 10 weeks in Suzuka City and several other cities for Japanese culture Immersion.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

You actually need to add maybe 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the water, it's said to aid with cooling you down from the "heatiness" of the fruit itself while the shell removes the lingering smell

[@sandychan480]

What a great fun segment!

[@keffinsg]

Man, you really threw them in the deep end! Chempedak, rojak, durian these are real shockers to first timers.

[@hungchan658]

Enjoy watching your video and love that you really enjoyed eating during.

[@zenalias3131]

Yes Durian is the true "Rite of Passage" And it's currently durian season if I'm not wrong

[@yong9613]

This is rather good at amateur level, waiting till they start discussing about durian cultivars....🤭

[@blueraineee]

Omg they have Sakai Takayuki knives in SG?! Sadly I'm in the process of BTOing so I won't have my home until years later. I hope they will still be selling in SG in the future along w engraving services :(

[@eveang1930]

The ending is cute 😀👍

[@wongfm11]

Damn good video. So funny. Kudo to the students for being so sporting.Should try the durian after refrigeration, more yummy. The female student will be a fan of the fruit after the tasting.

[@juliezeit1515]

I had the same reaction as the girl when I first tried natto. Was avoiding it till I got it as a punishment for a game and tried it, loved it when I did lol. I ended up eating natto onigiri everyday when I went to Japan 😂

[@cyberwalkerYT]

05:30 I am glad that you said pisang goreng in your video, though the label stated Goreng Pisang. Hahaha

[@junhaoyap8095]

by the way normally the water you put on durian husk, normally I add salt to it to drink after the durian session, you can try too~

[@xiaowei8908]

Must durian-test them few months later.. kekeke.. Love the videos, hope to see them try more food.. 😆

[@jemmashome]

It's not for everyone I guess 😆 thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕

[@Agate87]

The vegetable use in Rojak is actually called Jicama, also known as mang guang or mexican turnip. The texture will be crunchier than turnip after cooking and the taste profile is more similar to a fruit rather than a vegetables.

[@ivanseah8321]

🤣🤣 you guys are fun, like your video,can invite more Japanese to try local food.👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@Blablablarandomguy]

Makes me want to travel and try foreign food! So fun

[@ryanseet8314]

The durian thing is not a myth. Wash hands from water down the spikes, removes the smell. It really works. Water from the husk is drunk to equalise the heatiness.

[@sikaing8168]

Yup... Do mix w a bit of salt.... Works better

[@てんぷら-i3u]

Really enjoyed the durian reaction.😂

[@1changi]

Well, for durians, actually they come from Malaysia. But, Singaporeans are willing to pay good prices to import them. They are seasonal fruit. So, we do not get them whole year round. It is interesting to see the Japanese students reacted to their first encounter with the King of the fruits. May they have an adventurous spirit to try new things to have a richer life experience. They may not be able to experience tasting Musang durian in Japan as the fruit turns bad one or two days after harvest.

[@axeef7598]

actually the fruit that you eat from rojak dish is a rojak fruit and also its represents reflect the cultural diversity of Singapore its a good dish for afternoon its good dish to eat with family or friends.

[@elmo_yanling]

Very impressed with how you eat durian, like a true blue Singaporean 😂

[@hime_ai]

This is really funny, especially the durian part. 😂🤣😂 Also the seed could actually be cooked and eaten. To me I feel chempedak is more like a cousin to jackfruit. You all can try custard apple next time, it's really nice.

[@xAgonisx]

I like how the music starts at 8:44

[@cykurosaki1337]

Seems like fear factor for them but happy to see that they were so sporting! Hope they got to try other food like chicken rice etc.

[@rubricsuxi]

Just think of durian as a type of strong cheese: pungent and definitely an acquired taste. These Japanese students are so sporting and relatable when trying "Fear Factor" food!

[@tehpyono2203]

Never thought it would so interesting to watch people try Durian for the first time.

[@noprob7820]

Pour water in the husk and sprinkle some salt in it and stir with a finger. It serves to cool the body down since durians are considered as heaty food.

[@jeremyng7059]

Enjoy watching the guests reaction trying out local food. It would be great if there could be a collab with iChang.

[@JinLaiOfficial]

Hvn eaten durian for a long time.. Kinda miss it now 😂

[@jasonsoh8043]

That was so funny🤣🤣🤣

[@stevenyokeseng4489]

Nice! Good

[@ip3vk]

Actually, cempedak is a family of jackfruit & the seeds can be eaten after boiling it. As for durian, the more bitter the better & it is usually orangy-yellow in color. Overall, durian is a nutritional fruit.

[@fooksengloke3625]

Actually the bitter taste in some durian is due to alcohol from fermentation. If eaten too much, it can give you a sore throat. The sweet durian is when it is just ripe and fermentation has not started.

[@elvinyeo7230]

Sho speaks with a more Singaporean accent than many local youngsters!

[@brandenongkp]

These 3 Japanese in spore are more expressive than the Japanese back home .

[@sleepy_dobe]

Ghib-san should have bought the non-chilli version of those food they tried. Rojak and popiah definitely have non-spicy ones. And isn't cempedak jackfruit? Oh, Erina-san likes her durian! Interesting. But Ghib-san, for newcomers to durians, especially those who have an initial dislike/fear of the smell, you should start them on D13 first. It's known to be the best durian cultivar to introduce to first-timers. And you don't drink from the thorns side, you drink from the opposite side where the soft, straight edge is. Also, if you eat without gloves (no Singaporean eat with gloves, urgh, a travesty, an insult to the durian), one way to remove the smell from your fingers after eating is, you put a piece of husk under running water and wash your fingers under the husk. Another way is to use the skin of oranges. 17:39 I think Erina-san is not a pure Japanese.....lol. First time trying durians and she's eating it so enthusiastically and likes it! Lol......just kidding. Am sure she's pure Japanese. And it also looks like she really knows how to eat it clean clean. Her seed looks completely clean of all flesh, just like how most Singaporeans eat their durians.

[@camella1978]

I never seen Japanese students at Singapore`s universities. How did they manage to study there? Exchange students? That`s for the next video.

[@downluck2385]

Everyone is so adorable..lol. I rubbed my hand w some water in the empty durian white shell, it does reduce the durian smell.

[@哥坤-s7o]

Ghib San you can be a singapore tour guide for Japanese tourists. Lo.

For foreigner to try durian slowly, best is let them eat cold durian puff first, then ice kacang with durian, then the real raw durian
